Guest guest Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 Dunno 'bout salt water....was discouraged from pools because of all the chemicals.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 HI Trudy, Many people suggest an 'improvement' with the salt water while on vacations to the ocean so hopefully that'll be you hon. Also that's often what is in sitz baths or typically thought of and salt is healing. (I remember that after giving birth). I would think swimming pool chemicals would be totally different so if you meant that hon, I just don't know, but I'd probably give it a try myself, (but that's me) and we're all so different, who knows? Good luck hon. Dee~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 There is a theory that the reason so many with pain syndromes / V V problems feel significantly better at the ocean has nothing to do with the salt water and everything to do with the fact that at " Sea Level " you have a higher collum of oxygen on top of you. That same theory is strongly suggesting that tissues are starved for 02 and anything that increases the amount of it in your tissues is a good thing. Further research with Hypreberic 02 and H202 is very positive for chronic pain syndromes. I can send some links if anyone is interested.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 My gyn told me that swimming in the ocean would be good for Vulvadynia, and I've used epsom salt in the bath during flare-ups, it helped a little (I think Aveeno Oatmeal bath helped more). I remember someone saying they purchased sea salt for the bath to soothe their vulva, but I couldn't find any. My doc also told me to avoid swimming pools because of the chemicals. However, during last summer's flare-up, each and every time I went into my in-laws pool I felt immediate relief for several hours. Swimming at the YMCA during the winter was okay, too. But this summer, I was burning just a little bit, and I went swimming at the YMCA again. Ouch! I think because the pool was really crowded during this time, it had to be overloaded with chemicals. At least that is what I'm hoping! I really enjoy swimming at the Y during the winter, it's the huge outdoor pool enclosed in a big vinyl bubble. Really cool! I have a new hot tub being delivered next week, with an ozonator, so it will need only very minimal chemicals. I'm excited but a little nervous about this, too. nne > >Reply-To: VulvarDisorders >To: VulvarDisorders >Subject: swimming >Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2003 07:18:56 -0000 > _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 I'd been looking forward to ocean swimming once I move.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 I haven't noticed any flares or change in pain from swimming in the ocean. Although I did come home with a nasty yeast infection after a trip to Cozumel once. I've been very careful to change out of my wet suits and into a dry one right away since then. I do live on Lake Huron and swim in the lake quite often in the summer. No infections. And there's no salt to soothe like a sitz bath would. But I don't find that the lake increases my irritation. If I was irritated before I went in, I come out the same way. If I wasn't irritated, the lake doesn't irritate me. My neighbor's two daughters both got infections that they think were from swimming in the lake a couple of summers ago and now are very leery about going into the lake. I remember being in the lake at the same time and had no problems. Have fun on your vacation! Debbie Tiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
